Default Goodbye SC, Hello M5!

Well as some of you may know i totalled my DPW 99 sc400 last weekend because of god damn black ice. I got the car back in january of this year an it was a very fun car an my first taste of V8 an luxury lol. So after that i was sad an down, but i felt the need to upgrade a to something even better so i did some research an found my next car...an E39 M5! So i purchased one out in NC an will be picking it up next week, ive test drove one around my area an man they are nice cars, handling is beautiful for a sedan, an that v8 just begs to be driven hard. So here are picture of my new car as it sits at the dealership waiting for me to pick up. P.S I really dont like those wheels, an will prolly put the stock m5 wheels back on it

I'm hoping to make the same upgrade soon haha. E39 is definitely the hottest body M5! if only i had the money to drop the new V10 in it....

Exactly the route I'm going to be going pretty soon. I'm just gonna keep the SC since it's hardly worth anything now... Been looking for an '03 M5 in Imola red (only color I'll buy) Yummy.... Beautiful car, man

Yea the imola red is super rare, lol i think its the hardest color on the m5 period. I wanted a black one, but i settled for the silver since i got a deal on it.
